At 2/5 some people play money scared, but it doesn’t usually come up within the context of us being able to move people off hands. The problem is if they are money scared, for the pot to get big, they likely took an aggressive action at some point and their range is nutted.

Like yea an old man coffee might fold a little too much post flop after 3 betting us pre, but if his range is QQ+, we are still going to get smoked bluffing our asses off against him, his range is just super strong. And at least in that example we have clarity on some boards because his range is so narrow (eg he never has the nuts on 567), but other situations won’t be nearly as clear.

Some stickier people can be moved off hands at T/20, I had one last night where I felt I could get it through in part because it was a straddled pot at T/T, but I would be surprised if a new pro is rolled to buy in for 200bb’s+ and play a high variance style in that game (I don’t buy in deep in that game either).

People being money scared benefits us mostly when they don’t value bet thin, or take enough aggressive actions.

Best way to book a decent profit after being stacked for each of your first 5 buyins: play a no limit holdem double board bomb pot vs a player that thinks trips weak kicker is the nuts on a straight and flush board.

Maybe it’s different by you, or maybe you are just talking about people who play 25/50 and up, but I’m pretty sure every pro in the St. Pete/Tampa area who play public games is playing right now, even the ones who play the mid stakes. I think I was longest hold out and I started a few weeks ago. There might be one or two holdouts, but I think I’ve seen everyone who I used to see. Most of them played home games during the lockdown as well. Could just be a Floridaman thing. The games here have also been way worse since covid, I know people who have either moved or are taking extended trips elsewhere to play.

Nearly felt inclined to post strategy but will resist. There's already too many people that are actually trying to win in my games. It would be a shame if anyone of them became decent.

Haha. I probably shouldn’t post strategy either but

1. I like to give back since I learned so much on 2+2 when I was starting out.

2. I’m not that good anyway so have fun listening to my advice lol.

Pretty sure all the pros in Dallas that I haven't seen are either playing underground games or the big PLO games in Houston. It's pretty much business as usual for Dallas poker players now (just no Winstar poker room).

No one takes advice. Everyone knows everything. The standard is:

Ok since you asked a question it seemed like maybe you didn’t know if X was right

Agree. Nothing even comes close

Can I get some input from people who understand 4-card poker?

$5/10 PLO. Whale button straddles to $100. He's a huge spot and the reason I agreed to play half PLO even though I barely understand PLO.

First to act, I limp ATA8 because I expect the whale to basically pot any four cards after straddling for $100. 2 more players limp, the whale pots to $500 as I predicted, and I re-pot to $1700. Everyone else folds and he calls.

Flop K94 (pot $3600)

He has about $2100 left. Do we just put him in and pray? How often does a top 80% hand (or whatever he's playing) have 2 clubs in it?

Congrats to all Biden bettors. I went all-in on Kanye. Tough beat but maybe next election.

Definitely stick it in there you have AA.

This is also math you could just pretty easily do yourself but

I figured this wasn't deep enough to worry about but what stack size would you shove up to? What if he has a PSB? 1.5 PSB?

I’d give you my real advice if you posted directly

“Hey Rob can you help me out with this hand.”

Not sure who else in here knows anything about nl or plo.

We can wait for 11t to chime in

I'd appreciate your advice as I admittedly know next to nothing about PLO.

Gii and reload

Jam it and don’t like it.

The only good outcomes for you if this guy calls is if this guy has like 8955 or some dumb ****.

Two pair draws are very live and you will be dead a pretty significant amount of the time.

It becomes more interesting and a debatable c/f against a regular opponent at 1spr with no club. Against someone you perceive calling 80% you can just jam and capture equity.

If you ever have a club in your hand it’s just go go. At 1.5 I’d be check folding with no club.

In this specific hand your SPR is too low and against a whale they will have all sorts of paired hands they shouldn’t. Jam

I feel like sometimes we get them to fold some random two pair draws like 9876 with no club type hands that have enough equity to continue vs our hand and makes a shove slightly better than if they always called when they have enough equity.

Shove either way imo but that makes it slightly better than it looks.

How about shut up

Truthfully MB falls in the category of simply undrinkable to me (well at least after I was 21 and could buy what I want). Black Label and Schlitz are in that group as well.

No whale who is straddling then potting any 4 then calling again is folding post flop

You’ve spent too much time in vegas

As a kid I collected beer cans. My 8th grade history teacher got me into it. My father was ackshually a sport cuz he had to drink some serious pisswater

best cans by far old frothingslosh

would

who wouldnt?!

The next step is to divide your stack into bets of 6, 10, 11bbs. Plenty of regs still follow third bet rule.


always tasted like lemonade.


Man have I been playing the 4 card flush draws wrongly.
